This upcoming event at Main Street Books is for true Cleveland Indian’s fans only. Fair weather fans will be turned away at the door and Chief Wahoo paraphernalia is encouraged.
Main Street Books welcomes you to a talk and book signing by Scott Longert, author of the new Indians book, The Best They Could Be: How the Cleveland Indians Became the Kings of Baseball, 1916-1920. The talk begins at 6 p.m. in the bookstore on Friday, September 6, and runs till 8 p.m.
More about the book: Since the founding of professional baseball, few teams have risen above years of mediocrity only to see their fortunes interrupted by war and tragedy. Fewer still have then rallied to win the World Series. In the early twentieth century, the Cleveland Indians brought the world championship to their city of passionate fans in a spectacular style that has yet to be replicated. The Best They Could Be recaps the compelling story of the ballplayers and team owner who resurrected this proud but struggling franchise.
More about the author: Scott H. Longert is the author of Addie Joss: King of the Pitchers and has written numerous articles on baseball history for the Cleveland Plain Dealer Sunday Magazine, TimeLine, The Baseball Research Journal, and The National Pastime. He lives in Beachwood, Ohio, with his wife, Vicki, and golden retriever, Blair.
